Hunters,

We’re seeing signs of heightened activity from the following monsters across the field: Silver Rathalos, Nargacuga, Anjanath, Somnacanth, Coral Pukei-Pukei, Chatacabra, and Great Wroggi. In addition, Kirin has been sighted in Elder Dragon Interceptions, and the number of dimensionally linked monsters is expected to increase.

To help you rise to the challenge, we’ve prepared a series of limited-time quests that include group hunt objectives. Complete all the quests to earn valuable rewards like a Silver Rathalos Plate and Nargacuga Marrow! Group hunt and Hunt-a-thon rewards will also be higher than usual.

That’s not all: During the event period, all sword & shields and certain armor will receive performance boosts based on monster difficulty, making sword & shield hunts even smoother! We’ve also added special quests that require you to hunt with a sword & shield and specific armor equipped.

Take advantage of this event to forge and upgrade your sword & shields; then join forces with hunters around the world to take down these powerful monsters!
